Wooden Bird Cage Revamp....

I found this bird cage for $2.00 at our local DI. I know what you are thinking... HELLO IVY! I did too, but I also immediately saw its potential.

First, I stripped it of its jungle madness.( Which took a gazillion years) I thought this would be the quickest process, but who ever owned it before, wired each piece of Ivy on. They really wanted those puppies to stay put!

Then, I washed it up, and decided there was a little too much gold showing, so I took it to the garage for a quick spray!

I still wanted it to look old, but not to old, so I lightly sanded the edges.

Now, What to put in it? I really wanted moss balls, but settled for these old books that I also purchased at the DI for .50 a pop!
